Putsch

In the organizer's words:

A coup! Something like that used to be damn hard to organize. You needed tanks, weapons, the military and a lot of violence for a proper coup. Today it's easier. Especially in democracies. Because although democracy has been the best of all forms of government for 2000 years, it is also the only one that can legally abolish itself. And that is what is happening: More and more democracies around the world are currently being scrapped, and in Germany, too, there is a growing realization: "Oops, ours could be one of them."

But how exactly is a democracy being destroyed today? How could it happen in Germany? Based on the rise of an extraordinary, witty and determined woman, Alistair Beaton and Dietmar Jacobs take a satirical, topical, harsh and also very funny look at the state of our democracy. They show how the boundaries between left and right, powerful and powerless, woken and unwoken, media, internet, entertainment and politics are becoming increasingly blurred.

A biting and fast-paced satire about cultural struggles and our changing times. An upheaval that is perhaps more fundamental than we all think ... Following the great success of their comedy Kardinalfehler, the two authors are now working together again on a new commissioned work for Theater Trier.
